For example:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mar\u00eda es m\u00e1s alta que Ana. (Mar\u00eda is taller than Ana.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Este libro es m\u00e1s interesante que el otro. (This book is more interesting than the other one.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Menos\u2026 que:<\/strong> Similarly, this structure translates to \u201cless\u2026 than\u201d in English and is used to indicate that one noun has a lesser degree of a certain quality or quantity than another. For example:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mi hermano tiene menos dinero que yo. (Mi hermano tiene menos dinero que yo).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Esta pel\u00edcula es menos emocionante que la anterior.

For example:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pablo es el m\u00e1s inteligente de la clase.
